How will he fit in to Arsenals team?

Emery will undoubtedly have to tinker with his formation if En-Neysri signs for the Gunners.The Spaniard may have to deploy a very attacking 4-3-3 formation to squeeze all three of his lethal front-men in the line-up.Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has featured on the left-wing for large parts of the season and although he prefers being a no.9, he is still a major nuisance for defenders out wide, while Lacazette may also have to move out wide to make way for En-Neysri.The Gunners could use Granit Xhaka as their deepest central midfielder with Matteo Guendouzi and Lucas Torreira able to break forward with the ball at their feet and get close to their forwards in what would be a very attacking Arsenal line-up, especially with their full-backs bombing on.Is this how Arsenal could line-up with En-Nesyri in the team?4
